liquidator may, with the sanction of a Special Resolution of the

Company, divide amongst the members in kind the whole or any part

same kind or not) and may for that purpose set such value as he deems

fair upon any property to be divided as aforesaid and may determine

how the division shall be carried out as between the members or

different classes of members. The liquidator may, with the like

sanction, vest the whole or any part of any such assets in trustees

with the like sanction, thinks fit, but so that no member shall be

compelled to accept any shares or other securities whereof there is

any liability.
